Recent articles about Greg Lloyden-usColts new coach fills in for missing assistantNew Colts coach Chuck Pagano got a reminder Friday of life as an assistant coach.
Pagano filled in for safeties coach Roy Anderson, who left training camp because of a death in the family. Pagano did not say when Anderson would be back.
Anderson is one of two coaches Pagano brought with him to Indianapolis from Baltimore, where Pagano spent four seasons as an assistant - the last as defensive coordinator.
Pagano wasn't the only one getting accustomed to a new spot at camp.
Linebackers Moise Fokou and Greg Lloyd made it onto the field for the second half of the afternoon practice. Both were acquired in a trade with Philadelphia on Thursday night. But they couldn't practice until former Colts cornerback Kevin Thomas passed his physical in Philadelphia.03 Aug 2012 17:55:27 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/colts_new_coach_fills_in_for_missing_assistant/s1_8864_11371162

However, neither of these guys ever play and the Colts had to give up Kevin Thomas, which depletes their depth at cornerback even more. Thomas wasn’t very good last season, but he was a 2010 3rd round pick and he competing for the starting job with Justin King.
Now King will be given the starting job, which is bad because he was ProFootballFocus’ worst rated cornerback last season. They also have no depth at the position right now. Their top 3 cornerbacks will be Jerraud Powers, Justin King, and Cassius Vaughn this season. That’s going to be a dream for opposing quarterbacks.
It doesn’t make sense to give up on a 2010 3rd round pick and deplete your depth at an important position like cornerback just for two scarcely used linebackers. Linebacker is not nearly as important of a position and neither of these guys have any experience 02 Aug 2012 20:17:59 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/indianapolis_colts_trade_cb_kevin_thomas_and_a_7th_round_pick_to_the_philadelphia_eagles_for_mlb_moise_fukou_and_mlb_greg_lloyd/s1_10831_11363623
